Damn... when it rains, it pours *updates*

so my wife's surgery was anything but routine, turns out the cyst was bleeding when they went in and the "easy" way out was to cut out her right ovary! However, the surgeon went the "hard" way and drained the cyst, cut it out, and cut out just a small portion of the ovary that should heal back.

Wife is in a lot of pain but happy she still has 2 ovaries! (or maybe 1 and 3/4...)

quick update on all this... my dad is still in assisted living and he really believes he'll get released to self care in the future... we all just nod knowing it isn't going to happen

my father in law seems to be doing very well, but we just found out the cancer spread to more lymphnodes than we thought and he'll have to go through chemo AND radiation therapies to get rid of it all

My father in law's sister (who is mentally retarded w/ a competency of maybe a 4yo at the age of 60) just had a severe UTI that made her spend a few nights in the hospital that turned out surprisingly well

I've had some fucked up skin issues that have resulted in ~80 aluminum discs that test for skin disease/allergy on my back since early Monday, they get taken off tomorrow then read again on Friday to see wtf my problem is

My wife woke up this morning with a pain in her side, she decided to go to the doctor and they found a FUCKING 7cm CYST on her left ovary, so she gets to have surgery on Thursday to get rid of it...

fuck... just fucking fuck...

very sorry to hear about this, joemonkey.

I will spare you and your thread the details of what has been going on with my family over the last 5 days; but I absolutely know what you're going through right now.

Sorry to hear about that, but I know what you mean. I've been extremely sick these past several months, been in 2 car accidents (both cars totaled, neither my fault but the insurance won't pay for either), my back is now screwed up so I have to walk with a cane and I just got fired from my job.

What next?

worst. thread. ever.

hang in there.

Wife was doing surprisingly well this morning!
